a vehicle collision. It utilizes pyrotechnic materials as the power cut-off mechanism. Upon receiving a trigger signal, an internal ignition device lights the pyrotechnic material, causing a rapid chemical reaction that generates a large volume of gas. This gas then drives a piston rod to sever the copper busbar, effectively cutting the circuit. The PSS boasts several advantages, including resistance to aging, zero energy consumption during opera...
